Hello guys,
It's been a month since I'm using Official ICS ROM of Taiwan/Singapore, I9100ZSLPG TGY...
It gives me a good battery time from different ICS ROMs like Britain's and Polish's...
Well my question is which ICS ROM are you using and how stable and great it is? Also please tell me about the battery timing which is important as I'm looking to flash again to a different Official ICS ROM...
And please no suggestions about Custom ROMs.
Thank You.
if you are happy nothing to update really. just stick to it.
once 4.04 comes out flash that.
if your still icthing to change try new LPD ROM, but as iv said you wont feel any difference

I think you should try the XWLPD firmware posted on Intratech's thread. People have been saying that its battery life is the best so far. I have only just flashed it a few hours ago so I can't comment much but here is a detailed result done by a reliable XDA member.

Is your model GT-I9100? Shouldn't be a problem. I have been using the Netherlands ROMs in Australia..
Or if you use a GT-I9100M then there's this thread for you.
GTI9100M and GTI9100 are the same phones, just the M is carrier branded to a few Canadian providers.
Does XWLPD provide stock ICS experience/look? The Canadian official ICS ROM we have looks too much like Gingerbread

If you want the ICS experience try either Nova or Apex Launchers. All Samsung ICS ROMs will look the same, mainly with the TouchWiz which I believe Samsung did not want to deviate much as it sets them apart from other manufacturers' skins.
We get a lot of these threads, several per day actually..
Please just try the ROMs and then figure out which one you like.

Try Batista70 2.4 + speedmod kernel K2-16...
Allow me to quote myself:

It gets asked all the time, and as one might expect, you'll just get replies from people saying "I use x ROM with y kernel and I recommend it because z".
There is no suitable answer to your question, instead I would recommend you take a deep breath and have a read through what's already been written and decide for yourself what to pick.

what are the differences between each other?
I have been using VillainROM for ages now, have tried the rest but keep going back to VR. Best battery and closest to stock (I don't normally theme).
However, your question is a bit subjective, everyone looks for different things in a ROM.
Best way is to try a few and see which you prefer.

Try Batista70 2.4 or 2.5. the best of the best!
I suggest you learn how to flash and try out a newer deodexed stock like KJ2, then start flashing customs if you don't like the behaviour of stock roms. Usually stock are very good with the right kernel.

Hardcore's SpeedMod K2-15 is pretty sweet. Give it a search up top ^
In my opinion HyperDroid-Androidmeda is one of the best ROM's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288850
For sure it's worth to try. Some people were able to get over 6h display on this ROM
I recommend checkrom revolution v1 with cf root or speedmod and bigbanghds ICS theme. Looks nice, fast, good battery, mostly stable.

so the steps to flash my galaxy s2, are:
1-first root galaxy s2
2-then backup efs
3-then flash it with custom rom?
im right?

Hello,
3 weeks ago,I got a GT-19100G galaxy s2.Pretty happy with it,everything is great except for TW of course So I need advice at whether I should get the official ICS update when its released in march(also thinking about giving the LB leak a try) which will use TW as far as I know or root my phone and flash the CM9 and get andy's costum ICS.Andy's ICS looks pretty nice but I don't wanna root my phone specially that I never rooted any device before(my previous device was nokia n81 8gb LOL).Or maybe I should just wait for the official release and get some sort of ICS themes or something.I'm currently running Android 2.3.6 baseband I9100GDZKK1 and Kernel 2.6.35.7.So what ya think ?
root..flash CM9..after ICS offiaclly released..flash back stock rom and get OTA..easy right??
Would be easy if I knew what the hell is OTA
Edit:Oh,I googled it.Its over the air.Well,why would I root it if I will flash back stock ROM again in 2 weeks ?
Personal view would be wait for ICS then wait for the modders to mod the official release .

I was thinking about that too...I think I'll just do that But just to be on the safe side,is it completely safe to root my phone and install CM9 ? Bcuz my phone is new and if anything happened to it,I'll kill myself.
FYI, the i9100G is not the i9100, therefore ICS leaks and CM9 will not work in your phone. If you do flash CM9 or one of the leaks your phone will be damaged. The i9100G is sort of crippled ROM developement wise from the start due to it's lack of Exynos in favour of some old TI-OMAP. Your only choice is to wait for Samsung to released ICS for your phone.

IIRC, there is only one ROM available for your phone and that is SuperROM (Android 2.0.3). All other ROMs will brick your phone.
That's right. You can only install custom roms that are specifically written for the I9100G. And there aren't many of them. Someone on here said a couple of weeks ago that there are two (don't quote me on it tho).
If you flash a rom meant for any other SGS2 variant, as Xethor said, you run the risk of bricking your phone.

Damn...I had to get it since its the only S2 version available here.Why samsung ? Why would u make different versions of galaxy s2 ??!!! :/ Well I guess I'll just have to depend on launchers.I got Go launcher EX,launcher7 and ADWLauncher.If you by any chance know a nice ICS theme,can u give me the market link ?
At first I also didn't knew the difference between I9100 and I9100G. I bricked my phone by flashing one of the I9100 ROM. Then I figured it out, unbricked it again. And now i'm running SuperROM with ICS Domination v2.0 theme.
I9100G sucks big time, both in hardware and software.
Only four ROM's are available for 'G' variant:
SuperROM
Juffo ROM
Galaxyrom rc4
Darky ROM
Can't believe it took 6 replies for someone to point out to the OP that the G version is different to the International model. Lucky he didn't brick it. So glad the T version is the same except it requires its own modem.

Hi,
I really want to get pure ics on my galaxy s II. Currently i'm on 2.3.4 gingerbread, unrooted.
I have asked a few questions about how to root my phone, and found a pretty straight forward tutorial, that users on xda have said is great to follow:
jayceooi.com/2011/08/04/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s2-with-cf-root-video
Rooting the phone appears to be pretty straight forward using the above tutorial, but finding the correct rom is what im not so sure about.
Users on xda have told me to use:
forum.xda developers.com/show....php?t=1075278 , to find a rom, specifically the ones just above ++++++ [Frankenstein Firmwares] +++++++
The only problem is, how do i know which one to use, i gather its going to be the 4.0.3 roms, but there are so many varients for different countries, which one is for me?
Does it matter which one i choose? Is there differences between them?
*I have previously posted this thread elsewhere, and members have told me to resubmit it here, as I may get more help. I couple of forumers have mentioned that I should use the xwlp4 ROM as it is the latest ICS ROM.
Thanks,
By pure ics do you mean ics without touchwiz etc or do you mean a stock Samsung rom?
The Frankenstein ones on intratechs thread are Samsung based.
If you want pure ics without any of the Samsung bloat cm9 is a great option and is already 4.04
If you want Samsung based then the latest is lp4 I think.

If this is the case forget all the ROMS in Intratechs section, even the Frankenstein ones as they are all samsung originals with all the samsung apps and touchwiz.
If you are looking for a root / pure ICS option CM9 is a good start with terrific dev support. I've been using it for a while now and it really is rock solid and keeps improving.

ok cool, would that be the equivalent of something like this:
http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-r...ro-ics-rom-v-1-1-on-galaxy-s2-i9100-best-rom/
Not used that one myself but looks to be closer to the pure ics you are after.
I'd still give cm9 a try. There is a resurrection edition flashable through Odin.
Definitely preferable to the Samsung official ones!

I currently use this ROM. It has Apex Launcher so no Touchwiz, but it does have Samsung apps.
Although I'm no fan of TW or any of these apps, the ROM itself is great.
Go for HyDrOG3N-ICS with Siyah Kernel Best rom and kernel combo you're going to find out there for PURE ICS and lots of customization. It's stable, fast and really good battery life.

Which roms for i777 are android 4.0.4 ?
I am having problem with ICS roms freeze and reboot when connected for about 15 ~ 20 min to Sony cat stereo via bluetooth.
Found out that there are several other people having same problem on i9100 and apparently only 4.0.3 based roms are causing problem. Fixed by installing 4.0.4 rom.
Now, I'm trying to find rom for i777 with android 4.0.4, but I only see "F1 GalaxyNexus Pure Galaxy Experience." I am having hard time installing it because it gives me error.
Are they any other rom with 4.0.4 ?
Otherwise, I will have to go back to gingerbread.

Well, I think there's a way in which we can eventually get a 4.0.4 sammy based rom on our i777.
See, if you go thru latest news on i9100's forum , you'll see that official 4.0.4 has been released for them.. so if we get a custom kernel (maybe siyah or Neak) that can support 4.0.4 for our phone.. then one can easily hailraise the i9100 4.0.4 based rom without much hustle...
but, it'd take few more days for this as custom roms based on 4.0.4 for i9100 are also not out yet.. nor many supported kernels.. but it definately would...
Hope this helps !!!
